○ *We are a C++ team so this may not apply to Java teams* ○ We had issues with class paths while transferring Eclipse code to VS Code ■ .cpp and .h files were in the same folder in Eclipse, but VS Code separates them (we had to manually move files and rewrite include paths) ■ It seems java teams did not have this issue ○ Other manual additions: ■ Must have using namespace frc; in each file that uses frc namespace, same for wpi namespace (we assume VS Code couldn’t find FRC code) ■ In .cpp files, if you include any class from frc, you need to prepend frc/ to the include line. (Ex: use #include frc/WPILib.h instead of #include WPILib.h)
